Description:
Antique W.K. STRONG Half-Stock .38 Caliber Percussion American LONG RIFLE
With “LEMAN/LANCASTER PA.” Marked Lock
Here we present an antique W.K. Strong Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-1870s in Big Rapids, Michigan. William K. Strong was an active gunmaker in Big Rapids between the years of 1872 to 1884. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .38 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression.
Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. Many makers’ names of the so-called Kentucky long rifles have been lost over time. Here is one that survived the test of time.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. Good bore for its age. The stock is solid and has ben refinished. A chip is missing to the right of the barrel tang. “LEMAN” marked lock. Legible markings. “W K STRONG” is engraved atop the barrel.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 31 inches.
Caliber: .38 Percussion
